CHILDS CHAIR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 292,067, dated January 15, 1884.

Application filed December '22, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom, it 77mg concern:

Be it known that I, ASHER B. SrEvnNs, of Stapleton, Richmond county, State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Childrens Chairs, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

My invention relates to that class of chairs which is convertible at will into a high chair or a low carriage or rolling chair. The legs which support the front and back of the seat are crossed, and a brace connecting one pair of legs is extended through a slot or space formed in connection with the other pair of legs. The rear legs have a trundling-handle pivoted to them, and adapted to serve as part of a brace for the legs when the chair-seat is in its elevated position, the said trundlinghandle being joined with the seatframe by a link. The foot-board, pivoted to the seat at its front. is adapted to be turned up and serve as a table and a leg-rest.

Figure 1 represents in side elevation one of my improved chairs with the seat in elevated position for a high chair, the board to serve for a foot-rest and for a table being turned up for use as a table. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a side elevation, showing the seat in its lowered position for a carriage.

The seat a has pivoted to it a pair of front legs, I), and a pair of rear legs, 0. The front legs are shown as provided with curved slots or guideways 6, made by notching the legs and attaching to them metal strips 0. These guideways receive a cross bar or rod, d, carried by and movable with the legs I), the said cross bar or rod moving in the said slots when the legs are being moved to raise or lower the seat, or from the position Fig. 1 to Fig. 2, or vice versa. The front legs, I), have wheels e, and the back legs wheels f. The trundlinghandle 9 is pivoted to the legs I) at 4, and has rounds 5 6, and the handle opposite round 5 When the on the seat and engaging an eye on the round 5 5 5. (See Fig. 2.). The board m, adapted for a foot-rest and for a table, is supported by the arms m, pivoted to the seat at m". WVhen turned up, as in full lines, Figs. 1 and 2, one

side of the said board may be used for a table,

and when turned down, as in dotted lines, the said board may be used for a foot-rest. The arms at have between them a leg-rest, a, which, when the seat is lowered, as in Fig. 3, and the arms turned partially down, as in dotted lines,

may occupy a position nearly level with the seat, to support bedding such as used in a childs carriage, the edge of the board on then resting on a round, 0, connecting the legs 1) near the axles of the wheels 0.

I claim 1. The seat combined with the crossed legs I) 1/, their connecting-rod d, and guideways e, the wheels c f on said legs, and the handle 9, pivoted to the rear legs and connected with the chair-seat by links h and a locking device, substantially as shown and described.

2. The seat and its supporting adj Listing-legs and their crossbar o, substantially as set forth, combined with the foot-rest having the arms at, pivoted or hinged to the seat, the board 1n, and leg-rest secured between them, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sub- 8 5 scribing witnesses.
